All three were thumb-suckers, all three wore braces, with a total coming in around $10,000 but I’ve heard both sides – thumb sucking does / does not cause the need for braces. And the look is worth it anyway. xoox

Don’t worry about his teeth. Pediatricians LOVE finger sucking (a healthy, efficient, portable means of self-soothing, who doesn’t love that?) and pediatric dentists don’t mind it a bit until they get way way waay older. And then, as long as they aren’t exerting pressure on the teeth with the fingers they still aren’t doing any damage.
